China is asking that it and the United States remove all additional tariffs in line with a consensus reached between the two sides in Osaka, Japan, at the G20 summit at the end of June, Hu Xijin the editor in chief of China’s state-backed Global Times newspaper wrote on Wednesday, reported Reuters.
“As far as I know, the Chinese side requests that both sides respect the consensus reached at Osaka summit, which is removing all additional tariffs, not delaying some. I doubt Chinese side will resume large-scale purchase of US farm products under current circumstances,” Hu wrote in a tweet.
The tweet was in response to an announcement by the Trump administration saying that it would postpone tariffs on some Chinese products that were scheduled to begin next month.
